What is breathable wall paint?
When decorating your home, especially older or less ventilated spaces, the type of paint you use can make a huge difference. Breathable wall paint is designed to allow water vapour to pass through the surface, rather than trapping it. This helps to reduce condensation, damp and the growth of mould – making it a must-have for creating a healthier indoor environment.
Do, why does breathability matter?
Many traditional paints form a seal over your walls, locking in any moisture and potentially leading to issues over time. Breathable paint, on the other hand, works in harmony with your home, particularly in areas like kitchens, bathrooms or older walls that need to breathe. It’s especially beneficial in period homes with solid walls that aren’t built to deal with trapped moisture.
